"I just liked how well-decorated it was and the great selection they offer," Carter said. "The service was friendly as well because I had to actually order my costume offline since they didn't have what I needed for the leprechaun in store but the people were glad to help me out."

Carter also mentioned the reasonable pricing as a reason he enjoys the shop, saying his leprechaun costume was about $30.

If you're not in the mood to browse through a huge Halloween store for hours, you can shop online at Candy Apple Costumes and pick up your costume locally. If you choose to pick it up at the Tuscaloosa warehouse, shipping and handling will be free.

Some Halloween-goers may not want to spend $30-60 on a costume they may only wear once and Tuscaloosa has a place for shoppers just like that.

Dirt Cheap on Skyland Boulevard also has a variety of random sized costumes for very cheap. Some children's costumes are priced as low as $3 and come in various sizes.

They also have accessories to complete your outfit for 70 percent off in most cases.

If you're going to try Dirt Cheap for your costume or accessories, you must be willing to dig through piles of products, but you may just find that diamond in the rough.

With Halloween only two weeks away, you may not have time to do a lot of costume shopping. If this is the case, you can always browse Wal-Mart and Target while you're grocery shopping for a last-minute idea.
